The NEW Provincial Property Magazine spring edition issue 35 | 2022
It only felt like yesterday that we opened the doors to Provincial Real Estate some 13 years ago, a local team that had a vision of providing a new fresh boutique and personalised real estate experience to the city of Kalamunda and its residents. A team that was the first to be awarded in REIWA’s and REIA’s Best Small Agency both in WA and Nationally, and a team that has been the market leaders in sales for the last 7 years in the 6076 postcode. Our formula for success has always been never to rest on our laurels and keep ahead of the game by continually growing outside our comfort zones, leaving old ways for new and better ones and the deep understanding of how selling a home is a massive life transition for most people. Our new logo reflects all this with the Tree symbol still at the very core however with a refined symmetry illustrating how the older dark leaves transform into new brighter leaves. We call this Gratitude and Growth, Gratitude for the past and what lessons we have learned from it and the Growth of New Beginnings and new teachings.

season sensations Spring 22 Samantha’s Bakewell Tart For the pastry • 200g plain flour • 1 tbsp icing sugar, plus extra to decorate • 125g butter • 1 egg yolk For the filling • 180g butter, softened • 180g caster sugar • 3 eggs • 180g ground almonds • 1 tsp almond extract • 200g raspberry jam • 25g flaked almonds ingredients method 1. Sieve the flour and icing sugar into a bowl. Rub in the butter. Add the egg yolk and 2 tsp water and mix to a firm dough. Roll out onto a lightly floured board and use to line a deep 23cm loose-based, fluted tart tin. Chill for 15 mins. 2. Heat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Bake the pastry case ‘blind’ for 15 mins. Remove the paper and baking beans and cook for a further 10 mins until the pastry is dry and a light golden colour. Remove from the oven and leave to cool. 3. For the filling, beat together the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the ground almonds and almond extract. Spread the jam over the base of the pastry case. Spread the almond filling evenly on top, then sprinkle over the flaked almonds. 4. Bake for 35–40 mins until the frangipane filling is firm and golden brown on top. Allow to cool slightly and serve while just warm or cool completely in the tin. Carefully remove from the tin and dust with icing sugar just before serving.
Fall in love with autumn! It’s the perfect time of year for hearty salads, slow-cooker favourites, one-pot wonders and other quick and easy warming dinner recipes that say a gentle farewell to summer.
